    I paid my balance off Next last night :D.

    I'm working towards clearing Empire Stores next and then closing a few of my SDG accounts down too. I have too many, 1 or 2 will be fine. I currently have 4. :eek:

    I still have my craving for an iPhone :o. I can't afford the line rental at the moment so getting declined is a saving grace. :rolleyes:

    Nope. Closed the account a week or so ago. Aqua is going next month. :)

    Because I spend on them as they're there... it's too much keeping track of 3 credit cards and other credit products.
